Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless pork loin
- 6 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the pork loin dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
Finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary leaves.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Step 5
Rub the garlic-rosemary paste all over the pork loin, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Step 6
Place the pork loin into a roasting pan or oven-safe skillet.
Step 7
Drizzle the lemon juice over the top of the pork loin for added brightness.
Step 8
Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for approximately 60–70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 10
Slice the pork loin into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve warm. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
